End Of Western Papua
OROVILLE have abandoned their pros pecting - operations in Western Papua, and the staff is here, awaiting transport to Moresby,” wrote a corre spondent in Daru, early in December.
“Oroville came along with a five years’ programme and a reputed £50,000; but they have ceased their enterprise after only seven months. ‘‘This means, I suppose, that the Fly River will remain undisturbed for another two decades.”
The death occurred recently of Mrs.
Ross, the wife of Mr. Charles Ross, of Undine Bay, New Hebrides, a very old resident of the Condominium.
